In thirteen fabulous years.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HADLEY ERIN!

I am so proud of you.  You are the best kid and such a breeze to parent. You are thoughtful and helpful and loving and hysterical.  You keep Brandon and I laughing daily.  When we can’t sleep at night, we lay in bed and laugh at the funny things you have said.  You are a riot.  You make us so happy!!

It is an honor to be your mom.  I hope we will always be friends, but if you ever decide you don’t like me, know that I will still love you, and no matter what you do, that won’t change.  My love for you is unconditional.  You are my baby forever and always.  

Thank you for being such an amazing big sister.  I know the boys drive you crazy, but thanks for tolerating them.  They love you so much.  Thanks for setting a good example and always having a good attitude.  The kids watch you and learn from you.  You are doing me HUGE favors by being so fabulous.  THANK YOU!

I hope you have a good birthday.  I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.  Hurry home so we can celebrate.  

Love, mom

PS- Here is your song

This month is such a special one

It’s Birthday time for you.

We’d really like to celebrate this happy day with you

Zip-a-dee Ay and Heidi-Ho

There’s something we must do

We’ll sing a song that we all know

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

tidbits- brought to you by Hadley

Posted by Sandi in Hadley, Random

While dropping Hadley’s friend off at her house today,  Hadley says, "This is my future house. It’s just so cute. Me and my little family are going to live here."

I said, "You and your 2.3 kids?"

She said, "What do you mean?  I don’t get it.  Point three?  What?  You think I am going to have a kid that’s really special or something?"

****************************************************

Brandon- "Hadley, we hired a new nanny today."

Hadley- "Who is she? How do we know her? How old is she?"

Brandon- "We don’t know her, we just interviewed her today and loved her.  She is forty-one……"

Hadley- "Wait.  Stop. She is forty one?  She is older than you are and you are going to tell her what to do?  I don’t think she is going to like that.  This will never work out."

********************************************************

Hadley- "Mom, Brandon just told me you hired a new nanny and you didn’t even talk to me about it."

Me- "Sorry Baby. You can meet her tomorrow.  She is awesome."

Hadley- "Mom, she is old.  FORTY ONE? I bet she has gray hair and wrinkles."

I’m gonna kill that child.

*******************************************************

Last but not least-  In the midst of all the internet suckitude….

I closed my computer screen after reading horrible, mean, and upsetting things, about me and my family on the internet and I put my head down on my desk and attempted to swallow the lump in my throat.  

Hadley said- "Do you totally feel like cutting yourself now?"

…and then and there I realized my problems were nowhere near bad, because I had ZERO desire to pick up a sharp object and cut myself with it. 

Thank you Hadley for making me feel a lot better.

It’s all about perspective.

I will be posting ‘The Favorites Giveaway’ Friday afternoon.  You will have all weekend to enter.  Pickle will draw the winner on Sunday night.

two new things to report

Posted by Sandi in Ellie, Hadley, My kids

Look really hard and you can see it. It just poked through last night. Miss Ellie’s first tooth. It is her bottom left tooth and it is sharp! She is three days shy of nine months.

Hadley decided, while at school, that she wanted bangs, so she cut some. I think she did a pretty good job. She is so dang cute, she could shave her head and still be gorgeous.

Hadley is guest blogging

Posted by Sandi in Hadley, guest blogger

Hadley had to write an essay about herself for her final 6th grade English project .  I was so proud of her and asked her if I could use it on my blog.  She was delighted to share it with us.  Please show her some love.     dsc03570 Personality: Crazy, caring and friendly are a few things that describe my personality. My friends think I am really funny. I am not independent.  I still need my mom for really little things. I am a happy person most of the time when I pass a test or when I have a really good time with my friends. I am sad when I don’t pass a test.  It also makes me sad when someone calls my friends and me hurtful names. I am an enormous risk taker.  I would really want to try sky diving, big roller coasters or going into a real haunted house. I am outgoing I have lot’s of friends.   I am not shy at all. I will randomly go up to someone and have a conversation even if it is the first time I met him or her. I am really helpful in my house, When it needs cleaning, or I have to take out the garbage’s, I am willing to do it. I am not a rule breaker. I try to obey the rules as well as I can.  Not following the rules can ruin your reputation. I have been embarrassed a lot. I am always blushing, even if it is tripping a little or getting my chair pushed away and falling to the ground. I was really embarrassed in third grade when this kid started tickling me on the bus and I randomly started crying. I love my personality. I am glad I can make friends easily and make people laugh. Me in a nutshell: Crazy, caring, and friendly are a few things that describe me. My name is Hadley Erin. I have 14 siblings Bronson is (18) Shaylee (17) Hunter (14), Tylon (13), Jayden (11), Colby (10), Dalin (9), Jace (7) Jasmine (7) Kate (6), Brylee (5), Parker (1) Ellie (9 Months). It may seem like it is a lot but I am used to it, It is never boring here. I am interested in swimming, reading, and music. Some people have things that are challenging to them. For others things are naturally easy. One of the things that is easy for me is obeying the rules.  One thing I have the most difficult time with is math. The thing that I would want people to know about me is that I value friendships, and that I love to read. I cannot live without my friends and family.  They are the most important things to me. I remember living in a pink-brick house in Layton Utah for 6 years. From there we moved to California. We lived in 2 homes since we lived in California, one In San Juan Capistrano, and one in Ladera Ranch where I currently reside.  What I believe in: I believe family comes first. I believe everyone should have kindness. I believe people shouldn’t talk out when someone else is talking. I also believe there should be no war because I think that war injures people and it causes people to lose family members. I Believe that kids should NOT be abused, when kids are abused they think less about their parents. I believe that every kid should have a caring family that loves him or her for who they are and not what they do. I believe all countries should have medical health, because if someone has a tiny flu they could die without medication. I mainly believe in being kind to others, being courteous, sharing with others, being generous, and encouraging. These things all help people have a better life. My hero is my mom and my sister. I look up to them because they teach good examples and they are very loving. I admire Shaylee because she is fun and positive. I hope to be positive in my lifetime. I admire my mom because she is loving and cares about me. I wish to be a loving and caring mom like her. One of my other heroes is Rosa Parks because she is a good example of someone standing up for what they believe in. Like the time she wouldn’t move to the back of the bus. I think that everyone has someone who looks up to him or her without him or her even knowing it. That’s why you should be careful of what you do and make sure you are a good example to people around. My cousin Miya looks up to me.  She is 5 years old. If I had a special power I would want to be invisible because I would be able to go anywhere without anyone knowing My early years: When I was a baby I was very cuddly and chubby. My mom says I always carried around my favorite bunny and my blue sippy cup. I don’t recall sucking my thumb, but I remember sucking my blankets until I fell asleep. Every morning I woke up and sang the song Brush Your Teeth from my CD player that I learned to work when I was two years old. My favorite T.V. show was Dragon Tales and Sesame Street. My favorite book was The Giving Tree and Harold and The Purple Crayon. When my mom and dad left me they would leave me with my babysitters Mandy and Lindsy. Mandy was very playful and I was always playing games with her. Lindsy was very loving and treated me very kind. I remember going to Kindergarten in Mrs. Marble’s class  and crying and crying for my mom all day. She had to take me to school and wait until I stopped crying for about 2 weeks. In the Kindergarten play I was the Baby llama who was the last to walk across the bridge. I had a Hello Kitty lunch box and I would usually have PB&J for lunch because I was big enough to make it myself. The first time I was sent to the principal’s office was because my friends Cole, Victoria, and Taylor, and I were putting rocks in the snowballs and throwing them at the fifth graders. The first time I recall being rewarded by a teacher was when I wrote 1-100 on my paper.  I remember I had my first gold star on the board after that I was also sent home with a certificate. The thing that is different from elementary school is that we have to switch classes, and we get more homework. My favorite thing about my early years was my friends.  I liked how I was able to play with them and not even know their name. The thing I like about middle school is that we switch classes. It was boring staying in the same class all day. My favorite subject is Social Studies.  My first memory of the sixth grade was meeting Sammi and running away from the bumblebees. In my spare time I like go on AIM and talk to friends on Facebook. On weekends I hangout with my friends. I loved my early years from when I was younger but I would not want to go to back.  I am happy at this age.  In the future:  I hope to have a perfect job as a magazine editor of my own company. I will need to go to college to be a magazine editor. I hope to attend Elon University in North Carolina. After college I am hoping to live in a little house in Southern California, with an old Mustang that’s baby blue. I am planning on having a perfect family with a perfect husband and three amazing kids. My Family and I will vacation in England for winters and in the summer we will vacation at the Bahamas. As my kids get older I am hoping they will go to a good High school and a great college. While they are in college, or living with their new families, I wish to work at an animal shelter because I love animals, and I would feel great after helping one. I don’t like to think about passing away, but when I do I would like to have my funeral here in my hometown in California. I hope there will be tears and laughs at my funeral. I hope to make it a happy funeral that makes people happy and remember me. I want people to think of all the good things that I have done while I was living. I hope loved ones talk about me at my funeral. I would want them to say “Hadley was a good mom, she was loving, and caring, she always made people laugh and always was cheering people up, she was wiling to do anything to make people happy I love Hadley I hope her kids will turn out like her. Quote: There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done. Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung. Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game it’s easy. All you need is love”  -The Beatles
